Now that’s class

We progressives/liberals/Democrats are pretty riled up, absolutely sure that evil has triumphed and the world is going into the toilet. We’re so certain of this that we appear to be raving lunatics at times. Of course, being liberals, we mostly blame ourselves for this. And at least our candidate had plenty of class at the end.
Alan Keyes blamed the media and fellow Republicans on Thursday for his lopsided loss to Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate race in Illinois.
Keyes also said he did not congratulate Obama after the race was called, a tradition among politicians, because doing so would have been a “false gesture” because he believes Obama’s views on issues like abortion are wicked.
“I’m supposed to make a call that represents the congratulations toward the triumph of that which I believe ultimately stands for and will stand for a culture evil enough to destroy the very soul and heart of my country,” Keyes said. “I can’t do this, and I will not make a false gesture.”
